Alan & Julie
We all shared in thought with you, and said a silent prayer,
when your baby was born, and when he was taken, to special care.
our prayers have been answered, because he was given the strength to fight
an uphill struggle still lies ahead, but with the help of prayer, he will be alright.
With a special baby, you have both been blessed,
needing lots of care, and to be lovingly caressed,
you have been specially chosen, because you are special too,
you are privileged, and should be thankful, to be amongst the chosen few.
Talk to your little baby, let him know your there,
Gently place your hand upon him, against his skin, so bare
He will take great comfort from this, as he will feel your love for him flow,
treasure this time shared with him, it means more than you'll ever know
Count your blessings, and count them one by one
you have a perfectly formed baby, a perfect little baby son
He has his mothers eyes, he has his fathers nose, he has ten little fingers, and he has ten little toes
And just to make really sure, we counted them one by one
So do count your blessings, and we will pray, until his battle has been won.
